Don Wilson on the GPU Market's Trillion Dollar Question
TL;DR
When we spoke to Don Wilson, founder and CEO of DRW, in Chicago last year, he told us he wanted to build a market for GPUs that would eventually be bigger than oil. A year's time in the age of AI is an eternity, and so for the first episode of this year's Chicago live show - recorded at City Winery - Wilson joins us on stage again to talk about what's changed and what hasn't in his quest to help build this market. We get his take on the recent tech selloff, including credit concerns around neocloud CoreWeave.
Nauti's Take
For small AI teams, the immediate issue is exposure to GPU providers: check utilization, contract terms, termination rights, and your cloud partner’s financing before betting on lower prices. Bloomberg documents Wilson’s plans, yet it does not establish that GPU futures are already trading.
Verify the launch status before building a market thesis around them.
